Remembering passwords in IE11 (for Win7)

I am running IE11 (for Windows 7) on 64-bit Windows 7 SP1, and to clear up another issue some weeks ago I was told to delete cookies and passwords. Now that issue is fixed, but I have tried every pamphlet I can find online to help me reset IE11 to remember passwords again but nothing seems to work. No matter what I do, I still have to enter passwords manually. Can one of you resident experts out there tell me in simple step-by-step fashion how to get that yellow bar at the bottom of my monitor to start popping up again asking me if I want it to remember the password I am entering, please?

I know that is terrible security, but I'm on a desktop at home and behind a router and firewall, and I'm not overly concerned someone will steal my passwords. If anyone out there can give me simple step-by-step directions for changing my current settings (if necessary) and then resetting them to wake that yellow bar up again to remember Internet passwords, I would be very grateful to you. Thank you in advance.

Re the first paragraph, the last two settings are what I checked per the directions I found online, but I cannot find the two steps to follow in your last sentence. Can you give me understandable step-by-step directions that will take me there please?

If that doesn't do it then reset IE to Defaults under the Advanced tab and don't have the Browsing history Delete set for all options on Close.
